Audiences Love Gretna Music
“Gretna Music has lasted 50 years for excellent reasons. The staff is friendly and the venue is unique, a large, covered amphitheater with open walls that let birdsong mix with the music onstage, but the reason people keep coming back is, of course the music, which includes jazz and world music along with the Western classical genre on which the festival was founded. The artists range from up-and-coming to well-established, from North America and abroad. Most concerts also spotlight gifted amateurs as an opening act. Mainly, the tradition of excellence endures at Gretna Music. If you're in the area, grab some popcorn or a sweet treat from the concessions and settle in for what I can confidently promise will be a wonderful evening.”
